Stones to Remember

Posted on July 24, 2023July 25, 2023 by ICT Master

As part of our series in Joshua we took a moment to reflect on moments of God’s faithfulness in our lives. Our original foundation stone reminds us of a faithful people who trusted a faithful God in our early beginnings.

Just as the Israelites (Joshua 4:8-9) placed stones on the banks of the Jordan we have stones in our lives that remind us of God’s faithfulness and provision.

Each person was encouraged to write on the card and then take a small white stone as a physical reminder they could place in their home, so that they would remember. (Joshua 4:7)

Prayer and Fasting

Posted on August 16, 2022August 16, 2022 by ICT Master

We are currently in an exciting season where we are seeking Gods direction for our physical redevelopment. We have spent two months studying the book of Ezra and we are calling the church to a time of prayer and fasting. This is an important part of our discernment process.

Good Friday Reflective Walkthrough

Posted on April 22, 2022April 22, 2022 by ICT Master

The Friday of Easter is always a solemn day, a time for reflection, even though we know Sunday is coming. This year we created spaces for people to engage with the events of Christs betrayal, arrest, crucifixion and burial. Each space focused on parts of the Holy Week narrative.

Waitangi Day
